What is neoclassicism?

Neoclassicism is an artistic and intellectual movement that emerged in Europe in the mid-18th century, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art and literature. It sought to revive the classical ideals of reason, order, and simplicity and rejected the ornate, decorative styles of the earlier Baroque and Rococo periods. Neoclassical art and architecture were characterized by their clean, precise lines, symmetrical compositions, and emphasis on classical themes and subjects. The movement had a significant influence on art, literature, and philosophy and remained popular throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.
